Sistema híbrido de evaporación para la producción de panela en el departamento de Nariño

Los actuales sistemas de producción de panela en el departamento de Nariño son ineficientes porque deben usar combustibles adicionales para suplir la demanda energética del proceso. Para mejorar el desempeño de las hornillas tradicionales, Agrosavia, en alianza con Fedepanela, diseñó y construyó un sistema híbrido de evaporación (gases de combustión...

Cell size regulation and proliferation fluctuations in single-cell derived colonies

Exponentially growing cells regulate their size by controlling their timing of division. Since two daughter cells are born as a result of this cell splitting, cell size regulation has a direct connection with cell proliferation dynamics. Recent models found more clues about this connection by suggesting that division occurs at...

Genome sequence data reveal at least two distinct incursions of the tropical race 4 (TR4) variant of Fusarium wilt into South America

The global banana industry is threatened by one of the most devastating diseases: Fusarium wilt (FWB). FWB is caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), which almost annihilated the banana production in the late 1950s. A new strain of Foc, known as tropical race 4 (TR4),...

Improving Latin American Soil Information Database for Digital Soil Mapping enhances its usability and scalability

Abstract. Spatial soil databases can help model complex phenomena in which soils are decisive, for example, evaluating agricultural potential or estimating carbon storage capacity. The Soil Information System for Latin America and the Caribbean, SISLAC, is a regional initiative promoted by the FAO's South American Soil Partnership to contribute to...

The role of division stochasticity on the robustness of bacterial size dynamics

Variables of bacterial division such as size at birth, growth rate, division time, and the position of the septal ring, all vary from cell to cell. Currently, it is unknown how these random fluctuations can combine to produce a robust mechanism of homeostasis. To address this question, we studied the...

Threshold-crossing time statistics for size-dependent gene expression in growing cells

Many intracellular events trigger upon attaining critical concentrations of their corresponding regulatory proteins. How cells ensure precision in the timing of these events is a fundamental problem. Models used to study protein dynamics often do not explicitly account for cell growth and consider the dilution by the growth as equivalent...

A correlation structure for the analysis of Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses in crossover experimental designs with repeated measures

In this study, we propose a family of correlation structures for crossover designs with repeated measures for both, Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses using generalized estimating equations (GEE). The structure considers two matrices: one that models between-period correlation and another one that models within-period correlation. The overall correlation matrix, which is...

Anatomical and biochemical responses to oxidative stress in shoots of Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex Wendl during the in vitro-ex vitro transition

Hyperhydricity can affect the development of plant morphology. A better understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes of hyperhydric plants is needed to predict and control the occurrence of hyperhydryc conditions. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the role of oxidative stress in hyperhydricity. To this end, the...
